I’m sharing my journey with alcohol and the 420 Reasons WHY I Quit Drinking Alcohol. I’ll share a new story each episode; recollecting, reminiscing, and reliving starting at age 12 until I was 43 yrs old. I'll tell my story, connect the dots and fill in the blanks. I am 12 plus years alcohol-free and love the feeling of the freedom.

<p></p><p>In this episode of 420 Reasons Why I Quit Drinking, I take a deep dive into the difference between resting and recovering. Back when I was drinking, I told myself I was taking a day to “rest” after a night out—but really, I was just trying to survive the hangover. As James Corden put it, “we’re borrowing from tomorrow,” and I was overdrawing the account.</p><p>Anxiety, nausea, and guilt would keep me glued to the couch, mindlessly scrolling and waiting to feel human again—wasting entire days I’d never get back.</p><p>Since quitting, I’ve discovered what true rest and real living feel like. Now I start my mornings with prayer, movement, nourishment, gratitude, and inspiration. I’m no longer running on empty—I’m building momentum.</p><p>So I’ll ask you: <strong>What percent of your potential are you living in today?</strong></p><p></p>

And more importantly, what did I learn from it? Tune in for the full story, a few laughs, and a lesson in hindsight I’ll never forget.</p><p></p>

<p></p><p>In the sweltering summer of 1986, boredom and a thirst for booze led me to a ridiculous idea—pretending it was my birthday just so my friend would throw a party. And oh, what a party it was—flowers, decorations, endless shots… and everyone in on the joke. Well, <strong>almost</strong> everyone.</p><p>One person didn’t know the truth, and when he finally found out, let’s just say he wasn’t exactly celebrating. Looking back, it’s wild to think of the lengths we went to just to drink—never considering the consequences, only the next excuse to party.</p><p>Tune in for the full story, a few laughs, and another reason why I finally left drinking behind.</p><p></p>
